(enquire)<br />
Bardiglio Marble, Portuguese Marble,<br />
70cm x 60cm x 184cm / 27.6” x 23.6” x 72.5”<br />
The horns of this sculpture are fitted with tapered pins, so that they can be removed easily.<br />
In this sculpture I am pulling the animal head literally out of the block. The sculpture stands as<br />
high as a human and the horns could be like long arms lifting to create a creature that is over<br />
towering. The sculpture is an “awesome” reminder of the human will, being a wild thing, something<br />
we should care for with “awe”.<br />

The Shield, 2020<br />
White Italian Marble,<br />
150cm x 12cm x 183cm / 59” x 4.7” x 72”<br />
“The Shield” is carved of a particularly strong white Italian<br />
marble from the Canaloni quarry above Carrara. Its grain is so<br />
tight, that it rings like a bell. It is mounted on a tapered pin that<br />
allows it to be free standing with a stainless plate fastened beneath<br />
the surface. It swivels easy when moved by the touch of<br />
a human hand. The Shield is a continuation of a series of sculptures<br />
that are part of my essential body of work. It refers back<br />
to a seashell, the sand dollar, found on the shore. It’s detailing<br />
reflects on a core and two halves, thus creating a presence that<br />
is fragile, yet embracing us as a thing.<br />

Studio Installation,<br />
Marble, Travertine<br />
96cm x 100cm x 183cm / 38” x 39” x 72”<br />
This Beast stays at a distance from us, while luring us through its strange beauty. It proudly<br />
carries its horns in defense, like a snake surrounding its head that is animated and alive.<br />
The sculpture is about our need to engage with the other and the seductive tensions that<br />
surrounds this encounter.<br />

DESERT MOONS, 2013<br />
(enquire)<br />
3 elements, Egyptian marble;<br />
Each about 32cm/ 12” high and about 180cm / 6’ in diameter<br />
These Shield-like shapes recreate an environment that allows the viewer to stroll<br />
among them like on a walk in the desert, the ground this stone comes from, the<br />
Egyptian desert. In their scale, they won’t allow us to observe them in their entirety<br />
once we are up close, we become an element next to them. The surface is a pale<br />
sand color with dark orange ripples running through. They encourage our “walk<br />
through the desert”, reflecting on being immersed among things made for consideration.<br />
They are an invitation to dream.<br />

Black Moth, 2018<br />
Black Spanish marble, 66cm x 38cm x 24cm / 26” x 15” x 9.5”<br />
A moth is a creature of the night, that either merges with the surface it finds itself on, or starts unfolding,<br />
soaring into the night to find light. The moth is like an origami folded piece of paper. Yet the surface<br />
bears marks and scratches alluding to it being a tender shield on the wall, before being the delicate<br />
creature of the night.<br />
